Uses of Cellophane
Description
A
square
meal
in
1943
style
. The
young
lady
is
about
to
remove
the
cellophane
wrapper
from a
double
portion
of
mashed
potatoes
. In their
present
form
they are
dehydrated
and
compressed
.
Soaking
for a
few
seconds
in
water
makes
them
swell
to
many
times
this
size
. On the
dinner
plate
are
squares
of
compressed
beef
(the
dark
one)
,
onions
and
carrots
,
each
square
containing
serving
for
two
people
. In the
cup
is
a
square
of
compressed
coffee
(enough
for
three
cups)
. In the
soup
plate
is
a
double
serving
of
cream
of
cabbage
soup
. In the
other
two
plates
,
left
to
right
, are
chocolate
pudding
and
eggs-sealed
by
heat
,
protects
each
item
from
dampness
,
germs
,
dust
and
other
contamination
.
Saving
of
cargo
space
,
ranging
from
30
to
80
percent
as
compared
to
ordinary
dehydration
,
depending
on the
food
, has
caused
compression
to be
considered
for
Lend-Lease
and
Army
food
shipments
. The
process
was
developed
by the
Auto
Ordnance
Company
of
Greenwich
,
Connecticut
and the
packaging
was
worked
out
by the
DuPont
Company's
Cellophane
Division
.
